WOOHOOO it's good to be back doing my favourite thing - podcasting!!! I got myself a new mic so double celebrations!! This is a quick solo episode answering your questions from the box I put on my story last week. I discuss preparing for long runs, balancing training and life, excuses vs pain, the impacts of stress on running, returning to running after injury, and more. I could answer 10000 questions on running so there will be more where this came from.
Key message: running is here to complement our lives. Take a deep breath and remember that you're doing your best.

‘We all feel a bit out of our depth at times, but we don’t always say it’
We want to help our friends, but we don’t know how. We want to help ourselves, but we don’t know when. Reaching out for support with our mental health is tricky, but it doesn’t have to be. ‘Being thrown in at the deep end’ is the best way I can describe the transition from school to University. Loneliness, lack of self-esteem and a general feeling of ‘lost’ are often how students can find themselves feeling.
AWARE NI are a charity working tirelessly to bridge the gap between suffering in silence and receiving mental health support. Marina and I have a very raw conversation about how, and when, to seek help, knowing the warning signs and the help AWARE offer 24/7 365. You are not alone, and you don’t have to be. -
